According to Ben Burtt's research, he found that the most impactful sound was centered on a single breathing cycle with varying speed.
In this reading, it introduced the 'Gestalt principles'. The 'Gestalt psychology' is a theory that a pattern or unified whole has specific properties that can't be derived from a summation of its component parts. Moreover, there are some concepts can help us analyze information, it's help for creating an effective sound design.
The phenomenon of figure and ground in perception has been explored extensively by gestalt psychologists. I think it means, is a voice is different from the others, it becomes a figure against the ground of the background ambience. Moreover, The habits will also influence what you listen to. I think it can be interpreted as when I want to recorded a soundscape in Starbucks, everyone speak English, but I noticed two people talking in Chinese, because it is my native languages. According to the reading, it says that 'Sound quality influence what might be noticed in a soundscape in the reverse sense of masking'. Completeness, good continuation, and closure are also very important elements in a soundscape. The completeness can be shown that, if I want to make people feel tension, conflict, and drama, I can paused the voice or cyclic sound abruptly. Good continuation is important to a soundscape, if cut at the wrong place in a sentence, it will have effect on the meaning, so find a right cut point is very important. Finally, the law of closure states that the mind will tend to unite two disconnected lines lying along the same trajectory.
The law of proximity explains the nearby sound, people can speculate what is happening through the nearby sound. If the hoot and scream, people may assume that someone have a accident or at least that is was coming. The law of similarity means that similar sounds are grouped together even when separated by time.
The parameters of the space that convey these cues through sound include frequency range, intensity, and reflections.
